Restore effortless control to your BMW 1 Series boot with these rear tailgate gas struts. Designed as a direct interchange for OE reference numbers 51247060622 and 7060688, this pair delivers a consistent 400 N eject force to keep your hatchback lid securely positioned whenever you park on an incline. The sealed steel cylinder features a protective black coating built to resist road salt and humidity, eliminating the daily inconvenience of a drooping tailgate that refuses to stay open without manual assistance. Engineered specifically for E81 and E87 chassis models manufactured between 2003 and 2012, these units replicate exact manufacturer spacing and pivot points for a straightforward replacement cycle.

Benefits & Tips

  • Maintain unobstructed rear visibility by allowing the hatch to lock smoothly in the raised position.
  • Support the tailgate with a sturdy tool or helper before releasing the retaining clips to prevent sudden movement during removal.
  • Gas struts maintain peak efficiency when cycled regularly; leaving the hood pinned open for days can slowly equalize internal nitrogen pressure.
